Let a = longest side
let b = shortest side
let c = third side
P = 14.5
a = 6.2
b = 1/2(a)
P = a + b + c
P = 6.2 + 3.1 + c
P = 9.3 + c
14.5 = 9.3 + c
c = 14.5 - 9.3
c = 5.2
There are two ways for finding p, here is one way:
1/2 = 4p
Multiply both sides by 2:
1 = 8p
Divide both sides by 8:
0.125 = p
Answer:
p = 0.125
Hope it helped :)
For x,
(32+x)/2=14
32+x=14*2
32+x=28
x=28-32
x=-4
For y,
(40+y)/2=26
40+y=26*2
40+y=52
y=52-40
y=12
Therefore coordinates of B(-4,12)

24 + 3x = 3x + 3(7 - 1)
Eliminate the parentheses: 24 + 3x = 3x + 3(6)
24 + 3x = 3x + 18
Subtract 3x from each side: <em>24 = 18</em>
Look at that for a second. Can ANY value of 'x' make 24 equal to 18 ?
I don't think so.
There's NO number that makes the equation a true statement.
That's just another way to say: "The equation has NO solution."
